| Public Service Alliance of Canada local 70392 - Ottawa Every Year, PSAC local 70395 (Canadian Museum of Nature) members vote in support of having a Solidarity/Charity fund as part of our annual budget. This money is used to support striking union members (either PSAC or another union), or if no strike fund donation is necessary (always good news!), we use it for another group which is also in need of funds. Unfortunately, we only learned of the USW striking locals yesterday and we have already sent the money from our fund to another organization. However, the local executive felt that we should do what we could within the limitations of our budget as approved by the membership. In response to the appeal for donations sent to PSAC locals by the national Component, the executive committee of local 70395 has voted unaminously to send what we can to you for Operation Christmas Cheer fund. We hope that not only will the money help, but that it will also serve as an expression of our members' best wishes and support. Best Wishes Allison |

Kingston & District Labour Council
I want to thank you for taking the innovative to provide
help for the union families on strike at this time of year
with a measure of true union solidarity and caring. I
know the feeling you get while on a picket line. It's
lonely at times, however support from other union folks
injects a magnificent amount of good feeling and lets
our brothers and sisters know they are not forgotten.
Your efforts to organize support have surely made a
difference for these members in a difficult situation at
this time of year. Thank you, our council was proud to
support your efforts! In solidarity, Peter Boyle,
President
